I love the artstyle, and the game (although simple) feels very polished.

Submitted

Very cute, I like the story.

Cute game--I especially like the "Mii"-esque characters. Well done for such a short time!

Submitted

Very heart warming game! fits the christmas theme and gift item very well. Just wish it was less scripted. It would have also been nice if there was more of a conclusion.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I had to submit a day and a half early because of Christmas prep (gotta shop and cook 😅), so I kind of ran out of time to give it a more satisfying ending. A part of me feels a bit bad for the people who played it through till the end since it just stopped so abruptly.

I wanted to add a bit more to it, and branching dialogue was even planned for replayability (and the handling of it is already in the code) but I ran out of time to actually write the dialogue...

I actually want to update it after New Year's to give the game the added content it needs, but I lack ideas now... 

(So if you have a cool idea for the game, I'm excited to know!)

Great little game, I wish it wasn't so linear though, it was very obvious which gifts to pick. Regardless, great entry!

Extreme quality over here. Graphics and music are really working in tandem to give the cozy mood. Good job! 

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked it! I made the music myself, so I'm glad it wasn't distracting or anything!

LOVE IT!

Loved this game, super cute and gave me a lot of nostalgic and sentimental feelings this holiday season <3

Fun little game, you really put work in to making it.

Developer

Thanks!

Pretty unique idea, and I don't see many people be able to tell a decent sized story in their jam games! But I feel like it was not the best decision to make him say a big sentence when you choose the correct item, and say "this will do" for wrong items because it feels less like I'm finding the perfect gift and instead the guy telling me if it's good or not. But other then that I had a good time with it overall

Developer

Thanks for playing! I like visual novel games, so I try to put full stories into everything I make, but I'm still a beginner writer 😅. Now that I think of it, maybe it would've been better to have the long sentence confirming that the choice is correct after the giftwrapping part... 

I'm thinking of giving the game an update after New Year's, so thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

For some reason, at first glance, the graphics reminded me of the atmosphere of Animal Crossing. Made cool

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you like the graphics, it took me the most time to make!

Submitted

what a nice game :D, I like it a lot! A pretty simple but a pretty complete game in general, I tried to play it a few time just to see how to characters react :P

Developer

Thanks! Sorry that it's pretty linear; I wanted to have multiple endings for it, but I lacked the time to write the dialogue! (The logic for branching is even in the code already, I'm just a slow dialogue writer... Oh well!)

Glad you liked it!
